- About Me
- "As a songwriter's songwriter, Art Linton's music and wordsmithery embodies the best of indie music without relinquishing accessibility. He is as comfortable in poetic Elvis Costello territory as he is in David Allen Coe's stomping grounds. Come hear an Atlanta original.

Art Linton is a native son of Atlanta, GA. He was one of the first acts to play at the Downstairs music club/restaurant, which was a small but eccentric part of the Athens music scene. Art performed his songs solo there on acoustic guitar, sometimes with harmonica and of course, harmonica rack. He would later perform at the Uptown Lounge, the Georgia Theatre, Rockfish Palace, the Flying Buffalo, Charle McGruders, the Lighthouse and the Foundry as part of an acoustic guitar duo with singer-songwriter Mike Robinson. Mike and Art opened for the legendary John Prine at the Georgia Theatre.
Art helped start a rock band called Seedmachine with singer-songwriter, guitarist & drummer Steve Milsap (formerly of the Smash Fantastic). Art and Steve worked together at John Keane Studios in Athens, with Keane and producer/bassist David Barbe (Mercyland, Sugar, Buzzhungry, etc.) recording and playing on some of the album. Former Mercyland drummer Joel Suttles and the super talented and versatile drummer Sean O'Rourke also joined them in the studio, as did the illustrious bassist extrordinare David Webb and the fantastic keyboardist Tom Grose. Seedmachine also recorded at Exocet Studios in Atlanta (with producers/engineers Bruce Bennett and Geno Montgomery) where they finished their 16-song album project.
Art also has worked at CNN Headline News as a writer and associate producer, as a World Religions instructor at Georgia Perimeter College and with the Institute for Comparative and International Studies (ICIS) and the Violence Studies Program at Emory University.
Art Linton's new record "Time Heals All" is available NOW!
